Hi,

I'd like to be able to build something into WebI via Web Intelligence UI Extension Points, that can change a dataprovider for a report from one Universe to another Universe (unv to unx in this case)

I know it's possible via RESTful Web Services, but I'd like to do it from within an Extension.

The documentation for 4.1 shows a WebIntelligence Service JavaScript method WebiServices.document.updateDataProvider but it doesn't seem to take an argument for a new UniverseId.

Is there another way to do this via the JavaScript API ?  If not is this something that might be added to the WebIntelligence Service JavaScript API in 4.2 ?

If the answer to both of these is no, is there a way of accessing the RESTful Web Services calls from within the WebIntelligence Service JavaScript API without having to make another call to create a session etc ?

Thanks,

Hayden

So I found dataproviders/x/queryplan to get a WebI document's SQL.  But the SQL is all on one line.  If my report's SQL is:

select     blah,     foo,     bar
from     table

then the /queryplan result will look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><queryplan editable="true" custom="false">    <statement index="1">select blah, foo, bar from table</statement></queryplan>

How do I get the query's SQL in its original form?

I was able to successfully get the SQL from one report.  Upon trying it on the second report:

GET /biprws/raylight/v1/documents/316875/dataproviders/DP0/queryplan

I get:

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2016 21:42:45 GMT

Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1

Content-Type: text/xml

Content-Length: 0

Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=88

Connection: Keep-Alive

I was able to open the report in WebI and view the SQL, so there is nothing wrong with the report.

Hi,

Trying out the REST sdk (with 4.1) and have hit a problem from the start.  I guess i'm missing some config somewhere but here's the issue...

I create an enterprise user in the CMC in the everyone group...

Using POSTMAN in Chrome I hit the logon service with...

http://server:6405/biprws/logon/long

POST

Accept           application/json

Content-Type  application/json

  
{

     "userName": "testREST",

     "password": "testREST",

     "auth": "SecEnterprise"

}

if works and returns "logonToken"...

I then try as an Active Diretcory user (the one I used to create the test enterprise account who is a member of administrators..me.) CMC logon is fine using AD and the standard /BI logon is configured for SSO and also logs in fine.

so I go with...

{

     "userName": "JBRAKER"

     "password": "myADpassword"

     "auth": "SecWinAD"

}

It returns error "FWM 00006" with Active Diretcory Authentication failed to log you on.

I've tried using @domain and changing server url to FQDN but no joy.

Any ideas what i'm missing?  As mentioned the server is setup for AD SSO but i see nothing to configure for the REST services apart from the URL in the CMC.

Thanks!

Hi,

We are using Live Office 4.1 SP6 Patch 5, and we've noted that refreshing Live Office objects associated to WebI, the performance was so bad, compared to when we were still not using RESTFul web service (prior to patch).  Any suggestion on improving the LiveOffice refresh performance when using RESTFul web service?

Thanks

Hello Friends,

I use the following method call to get the list of all the documents 50 at a time.

request.send(BIP_RWS + "/raylight/v1/documents?offset="+offsetindex+"&limit=50", "GET", null);

Is it possible to extract the list of documents from a specific public folder by using the folder name?

Regards,

Hello,

How to configure HTTPS/TLS for "RESTful web service" and "Web Service" application ?

I didn't find any clear explaination...

Default URL are:

Properties: RESTful Web Service

URL: http://server_name:6405/biprws

Properties: Web Service

URL :http://server_name:6405/dswsbobje

I configured WACS HTTPS connector following this note:

http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1618311

I use port 443 for Tomcat and port 8443 for WACS

Then I changed web services properties:

Properties: RESTful Web Service

URL: https://server_name:8443/biprws

Properties: Web Service

URL :https://server_name:8443/dswsbobje

These 2 URL are well answering from the client.

When I try to connect in "Live Office", I get "LO 02049" error.

Has anybody a working example of HTTPS configuration for these web services ?

What must be used for field "Bind to Hostname or IP Address" in HTTPS section of WACS properties ? Local FDQN ? Public FDQN ?

Or "hostname" is mandatory ?

In certificate, what must be "CN" equal to ? Local FDQN ? Public FDQN ? Hostname ?

Regards,

Stéphane.

I am using Restful web service to refresh the document which as filter values with InList and EqualTo prompts. When saving the refreshed report into any format say PDF using Restful api the report data is incorrect. I am using the below XML as a request body.

        <answer>      

            <values>

</parameters>

If I provide single value in InList and EqualTo Prompt then the report produces the correct data. But this is not the case when passing multiple InList values and EqualTo prompts.

Can any body please suggest me the possible solutions.

Hi Experts,

Could you please let me know how a web page (index.html) which is developed in NWDS using SAP UI5 will be hosted in a web server?

I have found blogs of how to develop web page using java or asp.net and host it in the server but not on this.

Please let me know if there is any suitable link for this or the steps.

Also please let me know what all things that I need to host in the server to run the web page properly.

In REBean, we could use DataProvider.getResult() to get a RecordSet object that enabled easy navigation of the query result set.  In REST, it appears the only way to do this is to retrieve the entire result as CSV or XML, then manually parse it.

Is there an easier way to do this?

Hi,

I am trying to update the Query of an existing WEBI document's dataprovider, through the RESTful Web service SDK.

For this, first i will get the Dataprovider information,

Example:

URI: http://localhost:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/11111/dataproviders/DP0

Expected result;

<dataprovider>

     <id>DP0</id>

     <name>Query 1</name>

     <dataSourceId>1234</dataSourceId>

     <updated>2014-04-18T11:55:21.000-08:00</updated>

     <duration>1</duration>

     <isPartial>false</isPartial>

     <rowCount>113</rowCount>

     <flowCount>11</flowCount>

     <dictionary>

          <expression qualification="Dimension" dataType="String">

               <id>DP0.DO1</id>

                <name>EmpID</name>

               <description>Employee ID.</description>

                <dataSourceObjectId>DS0.DO1</dataSourceObjectId>

          </expression>

          <expression qualification="Dimension" dataType="String">

               <id>DP0.DO2</id>

               <name>EmpName</name>

               <description>Employee Name.</description>

               <dataSourceObjectId>DS0.DO2</dataSourceObjectId>

          </expression>

     </dictionary>

     <query>SELECT Employee.EmpID, Employee.EmpName FROM Employee</query>

</dataprovider>

Then Changing the above dataprovider's Query to some thing like below,

<query>SELECT Employee.EmpID, Employee.EmpName FROM Employee where Upper(Employee.EmpName)='RAJ'</query>

Please let me know the RESTful Call required to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Mahendra.

Hi,

I am having a strange behavior where purging do not work correctly every time.

(1) PUT = http://<Servername>:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/33280/dataproviders/DP0?purge=true

The above URL doesn't work, so i tried like below and it worked.

(2) PUT = http://<Servername>:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/33280?purge=true

When i tried the same above URL (2) for another report it did not work. To make it work i have to first execute URL (1) and then URL (2).

Not clear what i should do? Do i have to execute both the URLs?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Arun

Hi,

After purging a document, i opened it modified by adding couple of columns, refreshed and saved it.

Now i run the purge again, it displays the old purged document instead of new modified one. So for state (Original, Unused and Modified) i defined the URL like this -

PUT = ../raylight/v1/documents/docid/dataproviders?purge = true&state=Modified

and for saving the document back to CMS, my URL is /raylight/v1/documents/docid?state=Modified.

This doesn't gives the desired result. I have gone through the document, but it do not mention an example with a URL.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Arun

I am trying to execute a WebI report using java apis.Am able to create a reportEngine instance bit when I try to setup a

Hi,

Is there a way of creating report by referring to existing report template by using Restful API?

I am trying to create report using restful SDK and I getting this error "The remote server returned an error : (405) Method Not Allowed.

This is a strange one.

I'm a Brit, living in Switzerland, so my Windows 7 regional settings is set as English, but my keyboard is Swiss German.

When I attempt to use OpenDocument from my RESTful web site, it works fine in IE11, but barely opens properly in Chrome  (see attached image).

Opening the Developer Options in Chrome, and looking at the Network tab, I can see that it's looking for files which don't exist, like this one:

http://MyServer:6405/BOE/OpenDocument/160312/AnalyticalReporting/webiDHTML/dhtmllib/language/de/labels.js

Whereas in IE, it looks for this file, which does exist:

http://MyServer:6405/BOE/OpenDocument/160312/AnalyticalReporting/webiDHTML/dhtmllib/language/en/labels.js

Also in Chrome, it attempts to find "dialogservice_strings_de.js", which also doesn't exist on our server, and a load of JavaScript errors appear (as shown in the attached image).

Can someone tell me how to tell the OpenDocument / BO Server to just use the English language ?

I've scanned through the documentation... but nothing. 

I can't see any mention of how to set the language.

Can anyone help, please ?
